Try to do a gcc -O2 -S on your code, then look at the GAS code generated.
It is possible that the inlined port functions don't have enough of a 
"wait" between operations on that port, or GCC has optimized something
away it should not have.  If the assembly looks correct on the second
loop which hangs, you can try to add some jmp 1f; 1: type statements
to see if delays help.  Step through it with the debugger.
